Description:
A stunning car that catches the eye everywhere it goes. Has been in Australia since 2009, imported from Arizona. I have been the sole Australian owner and it has only ever been driven as a gentle Sunday outing car over the last 5 years. Has been used in modelling shoots, parades and multiple times as a wedding car. I am very sad to see her go.




Condition:
The car is in fabulous condition for it's age. Upholstery is beautiful and without blemish. The carpet is also in a great state although it could be fitted a little better. Neither the upholstery, carpet or duco are original, however I am unsure when the restoration work was carried out - done in America before importing to Australia.
There is a small tear (see photograph) in the hood lining interior (obviously out of site when the top is down). The duco also has a couple of very minor scratches that would come out with a cut and polish. The Chieftain emblems on the steeling wheel and hood are a little lined with age (see photographs).
Mechanically, the car is perfect aside from some starter motor issues that have been rectified by an excellent auto electrician and are now managed well through a drip down (trickle down) charger. Wipers will need upgrading to obtain a rego.
Due to age the radio does not work (secondary one included for the clever handyman/woman!). Heating/cooling does not work. Electric roof works perfectly.




THIS IS A VERY RARE CAR. I HAVE INCLUDED A CURRENT SALE ADVERT FOR A SIMILAR CAR IN THE USA HERE - http://assets.hemmings.com/uimage/46339862-770-0.jpg?rev=1 - ADD CURRENCY CONVERSION, IMPORTATION AND REGISTRATION TO THIS AND YOU WILL FIND THIS PONTIAC IS REALLY GOOD VALUE!
